Wow you seriously read my mind today! I’m a fitness instructor (teach Body attack, HIIT, and spin classes) and I practice Bikram yoga 2 times a week. Occasionally I wear a heart rate monitor in Bikram and I’m confused because it never measures a high heart rate OR that I have an overall high calorie burn even though it exhausts me, my performance in other activities has excelled and I can see a huge body composition change from practicing regularly the last few years. I was just telling my husband before I saw this that I wish there was some science to help explain why the calorie burn doesn’t match up with the results I see as an athlete practicing in 108 degree temps. Then I saw you posted this! Can’t wait to share this with my studio. Thanks for the good info!
Ahh the best thing about living in Finland: almost everyone has their own sauna! I can heat it up when ever I want and relax :) Those who were wondering about the negative effects: - nope, sauna does not affect your sperm count - drink plenty of water after sauna, or you might feel tired and dizzy (duh, dehydration) - tiny bit of alcohol is ok, couple of beers or cider. Don't get drunk though. - don't go to sauna if you are sick with flu or other virus. That does bad to your heart muscle - relax and cool down after sauna. Go out in fresh air still wearing towel/bathrobe, if possible. Cool breeze on hot skin does wonders to your vascular system and invigorates you, taking away the tired feeling
I love Saunas, and my routine goes like this. 15 - 20 mins in Sauna, then ice cold shower and dip in the pool. Then repeat the process several times over 2 hours or so.
0:34 My gym membership would be terminated and I would probably be investigated by social services if I took a 3yo into the sauna here in the UK. No under 16yo are allowed!
011angelfire Young children are less able to control body temp and would be less likely to realise the point when they need to get out. There are currently no Health & Safety Laws to enforce this but gyms are entitled to set their own rules and it would be bad press if children were to suffer tragedies due to oxygen starvation to the brain.
Here in Finland it is normal for everyone from small babies to elders over 90 go to a sauna almost weekly. According to my father, i was under 12 months old when i was taken in to a sauna for the first time. Of course a little child cannot be in a sauna alone and not nearly as long as an adult.
i have the last 2 years allmost everyday 30-45 min sauna after my workouts, so this is good news to keep that good habit on i guess, and it feels so nice and relaxing after the workout
@@Grind.Harder77 I do this every workout. My gym, especially in winter time, is always cool and I don't like to do warm up exercises if I can help it. I find 5 - 10 minutes in the sauna and I'm ready to hit the weights and have a sweat going. Give it a shot.
Last semester I was training for a 12 min run, i had to run at least 2450m, and after mounths I was able to run 1900m, after I learned about the sauna effect I did it for 2 hrs a day, 4 days total, ran 2550m after, it really works.
Sauna after a serious workout is a really bad idea! Working out causes some inflammation in the body (muscles tendons nerves etc.) & high heat increases that inflammation, if you keep doing this regularly you'll be in big big trouble. I've learned that the hard way, ice it people! And if you wanna benefit from the sauna, do it separately.
Question: Which is better for recovery then???? Heat or cold??? Because many professional and amateur athletes use ice tubs to recover from long hard intense workouts. I hear of many benefits from using ice cold water for recovery. So if I had to pick one, which is more beneficial as far as muscle recovery????? Thanks for your consideration TD.....Waiting patiently for the science.

Thomas, please PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 quickly make a video on how to break a water fast and what all to eat to not gain the weight back and other tips. Would really appreciate it. I am currently doing a waterfast. Btw, I am a fan of your videos. Very informational. Love the content. Keep informing us. ❤
Before my sauna use I suffered from ectopic heart beats ( PVCs) and I had to take beta blockers to control them....happy to say that I'm off the medication now due to my sauna use ...somehow it has fixed my problem and I no longer suffer from this issue....so I don't quite agree with what u said here....
I’ve only just started going to a sauna, so this information is fantastic. I am training or a full marathon on at the end of next year so any extra insurance is a bonus!
I always turn the heat up in the room when I do a yoga workout. It gets up into the 80s. I'm not sure if that's enough to get heat stress proteins activated, but it sure feels good!
Hello Thomas DeLauer. I had a question if you don't mind or get a chance, Would you consider multi-vitamins if you were doing a low carb or gluten free diet and also... What do you eat personally on your diet?
Hi Thomas! How does an icecold shower impact the positive effects you're mentioning? Also, would we see similar benefits from a hot bath or shower as we see from the sauna?
I have arthritis in my left hip (which has been growing across my lower back and now into my right hip). I have stiffness and aches. So I bought a sauna. i've had my infrared sauna for about a month now and have used it almost everyday for 90 minutes (yes!) per session at around 130 degrees.... I super-love the sweating (I setup a big screen TV just outside the all glass front of the sauna) so the 90 minutes goes by very fast and i love watching all the movies!) ... BUT... Sad to say... I've had absolutely ZERO relief in my stiffness and aches. I'm not giving up on the sauna because it feels soooooooooo good! I'm hoping my symptoms will improve at some point with regular sauna use.
do I have to use the Sauna... on same day I am running to see the benefits?... I use the Sauna on the same days I go swimming ... are you proposing 30 continued minutes rather than dividing the time?.... would that affect effectiveness?
Thomas! Have you heard of Kefir? What are its effects on ketosis and more specifically fasting/fat burning? Just saw this and thought I would consult the expert.
Thomas, would like to see some videos about any ideas or research about alternating dry sauna and cold thermogenesis paired with fasting. I’ve gotten some good results with this personally but I’d like to understand the science behind it and maybe you can share some techniques for others.
us finns do like 100-120°C and then we jump in the frozen lake or snow. Its very good for your body. Some foreign scientists say its dangerous. For people not from finlan or estonia, it propably is. Finns and estonians can take it.
Thomas... Great video, love the research (science) behind it... have always been a fan of Saunas, recently heard that Far- Infrared is actually better for Apoptosis than traditional saunas... what have you found in your research? Btw... keep up the great work my friend, love your Channel!!!
It does matter, you want to prolong the time you fast, so you want to skip means from the tail ends of your day. Meaning that skip either the first meal or the last meal, not the one in between. If you're not skipping your evening snack, then you should skip breakfast. If you don't eat anything after your skipped dinner, then you should be alright.
Mon P., if I could add just a little bit more information: if a person wants to use up adipose tissue then workout when the body has released glucagon, which is in the morning before breakfast.
Very cool stuff Thomas. They also show drastic improvements in hgh. If I remember correctly 2 1 hr session a day led to a 1600% increase and 2 30 min sessions a day was a 200% or 400%, or something like that. It was exponentially increasing over time.
@Pan Sonito he did another video about Apple cider vinegar improving electrolyte uptake. 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar. Half a tbsp cream of tartar for potassium. Half a teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt for sodium and other nutrients and lime juice for limonoids and small amount of sugar that helps boost salt uptake.
@@effiahalhumbhra3755 This is the first time anyone has replied to a comment I've written and its actually been useful. Guess I know whats on my next shopping list lol.
Will I get some results if I sit in a steam room or does it need to be dry heat? I have both at my gym and I prefer the steam but if it doesn’t help me like a sauna would, I’ll try the sauna and gradually work up a tolerance for the dry heat.
Great information, Thomas. Thank you. I am a firm believer to take post-workout protein shakes immediately after my workout. But I prefer to do a 30 minutes sauna immediately after my workout. The questions is, what would be the best timings to consume post workout protein shake? Workout->Sauna->Protein OR Workout->Protein->Sauna?
as someone that goes weekly to the sauna I can attest that it is efficient. Matter as fact I think I turned into a beast thanks to the sauna. my perfomanced peaked. Trainning sessions of 20 mins rose to 76 mins.
10:45. 20-30 mins. 2x a week...what if you do it once a day? Or, 2x a day? Or, every other day? Is 2x a week the maximum for safety? Or, is that just a fair amount of time and it's fine and safe to do it more often than that?
[" 6/18/19, Infrared out benefits any dry or steam saunas. Just research the benefits. During wintertime especially doing IF right before sleeptime for the night keeps us warm alllll night waking up fresh as a daisy or shall we say a sunflower🌻."]
I used to have pretty frequent occular auras in my vision, but when I started doing regular time in the sauna these episodes have greatly shrunk if not been eliminated. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'll keep doing it.
Forget weight just go to a hot sauna till you can't take the heat no more , go to a cold shower refresh and back to sauna and repeat. Sooooo gooood and relaaaaxing ^^ wish I could do it but I'm trash :/ used to have one in my home in good old days ;(
If I am working out in the morning in a fasted state should I eat something and drink a protein shake before I go in? How should I time the food after training with the sauna to get maximum efficiency? Do I need to eat protein before the sauna to get that HSP muscle cell repair stabilization effect? Is it a bad idea to just go inside the sauna while in a fasted state?
Now on the days that I go to the Sauna two times per week! Do I go into the sauna for 30 minutes straight? Or would it be okay to go for 15 minutes and then go out for a 5 minute break and then finish my 30 minutes? Or do you think it would be better to do it all in one sitting?

Well I would think that negates some of the benefits of sauna use because u want to have ur body cool itself down as part of the adaptation process.
@@bryant8647 You are correct. I sit and cool down for 15-20 min before the cool shower. I found I continue to sweat for at least that long after the sauna
Thomas, please PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 quickly make a video on how to break a water fast and what all to eat to not gain the weight back and other tips. Would really appreciate it. I am currently doing a waterfast. Btw, I am a fan of your videos. Very informational. Love the content. Keep informing us. ❤
Could you make a video about infrared saunas? What would be the difference? Can a jacuzzi help with metabolism and fat loss too?
Thank you for always posting great usable information!!!
DANAE 1 thank you for watching!!
Which is better, infrared or steam sauna?
Steam of course and preferably with wood kiuas. Smoke saunas are really cool too. Infrared just feels artificial, regards a Finn.
When do you suggest we use the sauna... before or after a workout?
thomas, what is considered better; infrared or traditional? i'd love to know the science as to which and reasons why.
thanks for your video, quite clear advices back-up with numbers. Take care.
Sauna is great for healthy people but not for anyone
With a heart issue. Thank you for your uploads I appreciate you knowledge so very much.
Before my sauna use I suffered from ectopic heart beats ( PVCs) and I had to take beta blockers to control them....happy to say that I'm off the medication now due to my sauna use ...somehow it has fixed my problem and I no longer suffer from this issue....so I don't quite agree with what u said here....
Very true
I use the dry sauna at the gym 6 days a week after I workout; feel great!!
Yes
If eating meat or nuts what are good examples of fat to protein ratios?
I’ve only just started going to a sauna, so this information is fantastic. I am training or a full marathon on at the end of next year so any extra insurance is a bonus!
Thnx, im going 4times a week for some 30 minutes... is it oke to drink water in the sauna?
Yes, it helps greatly to sweat more and also to hydrate your body.
I always turn the heat up in the room when I do a yoga workout. It gets up into the 80s. I'm not sure if that's enough to get heat stress proteins activated, but it sure feels good!
Hello Thomas DeLauer.
I had a question if you don't mind or get a chance,
Would you consider multi-vitamins if you were doing a low carb or gluten free diet and also... What do you eat personally on your diet?
Does the sauna's heat source matter? IE: infrared vs radiant heat?
Infrared is always Betta than radiant
@@rashidataylor9089 thanks. Any idea why?
Hi Thomas is it ok to use sauna daily? Mon-Sunday?how long i should use it?
So should I be hitting the sauna prior to my workout? Like what kind of schedule should I incorporate?
Hi Thomas! How does an icecold shower impact the positive effects you're mentioning?
Also, would we see similar benefits from a hot bath or shower as we see from the sauna?
just go to a 120°C sauna and jump in a frozen lake or snow, or just very very cold shower. We finns do it every single day
and yes its good for you, maybe not americans or other foreigners. Finns and estonians can take it easily
@@dille1686 it'll probably be easier once the body gets used to it.
I always hit the sauna and steam room after the gym, then the freezing plunge pool before my swim, leave that place tired but refreshed.
Same here
I have arthritis in my left hip (which has been growing across my lower back and now into my right hip). I have stiffness and aches. So I bought a sauna. i've had my infrared sauna for about a month now and have used it almost everyday for 90 minutes (yes!) per session at around 130 degrees.... I super-love the sweating (I setup a big screen TV just outside the all glass front of the sauna) so the 90 minutes goes by very fast and i love watching all the movies!) ... BUT... Sad to say... I've had absolutely ZERO relief in my stiffness and aches. I'm not giving up on the sauna because it feels soooooooooo good! I'm hoping my symptoms will improve at some point with regular sauna use.
Add ozone...
I have a portable infrared sauna, do i get the same health benefits?
So what is better sauna or steam room? Or it the same Thomas
Infrared sauna is superior to steam because you don't need nearly as high a temperature to sweat. Less stress on body.
Bearded soul78 even I need answer
@@Chaitraaaaaaa sauna
Infrared sauna specifically
Bearded soul78 are they not same?
do I have to use the Sauna... on same day I am running to see the benefits?... I use the Sauna on the same days I go swimming
... are you proposing 30 continued minutes rather than dividing the time?.... would that affect effectiveness?
When should you workout during 16/8 Intermitting Fasting? After you eat at 8pm?
Your vast of knowledge WOWS me! Great video
He's not human. He's an Android.
Kim Ecker so glad you enjoy the info! I appreciate you tuning in!!
Wow!!! So happy you came out with this video! Will it help with inflammation? Also how many times a week can we do it the most
amazing valuable information. thanks 👍
Love the idea of 26 Celsius being a normal day...here in the UK that is a (rare) hot summer day lol. Probably why I like saunas...
Hahaha sp true. For us its a hot summer day lol 😂🙌
Thomas! Have you heard of Kefir? What are its effects on ketosis and more specifically fasting/fat burning? Just saw this and thought I would consult the expert.
Thomas, would like to see some videos about any ideas or research about alternating dry sauna and cold thermogenesis paired with fasting. I’ve gotten some good results with this personally but I’d like to understand the science behind it and maybe you can share some techniques for others.
73C is rather cold for a sauna. What are the effects of proper sauna temperatures?
us finns do like 100-120°C and then we jump in the frozen lake or snow. Its very good for your body. Some foreign scientists say its dangerous. For people not from finlan or estonia, it propably is. Finns and estonians can take it.
I heat the sauna to at least 80-90 before I go there.
Thomas... Great video, love the research (science) behind it... have always been a fan of Saunas, recently heard that Far- Infrared is actually better for Apoptosis than traditional saunas... what have you found in your research? Btw... keep up the great work my friend, love your Channel!!!
Dr Rhonda Patrick stated traditional Finnish saunas to be better since higher temperature
Great video! I wish this came out 10 weeks ago when I had surgery for my torn pec.
Does it matter which meal you skip when fasting? I like to skip dinner and start with breakfast
It does matter, you want to prolong the time you fast, so you want to skip means from the tail ends of your day. Meaning that skip either the first meal or the last meal, not the one in between. If you're not skipping your evening snack, then you should skip breakfast. If you don't eat anything after your skipped dinner, then you should be alright.
Depends on your energy levels and schedule, but it doesn't matter. What matters is the not eating to not spike insulin what matters.
Mon P., if I could add just a little bit more information: if a person wants to use up adipose tissue then workout when the body has released glucagon, which is in the morning before breakfast.
What about hot baths or showers, do they have the same benefits or not
Like A Marko this is what I want to know...especially since I don’t have access to a sauna right now!
Nope, dry saunas are wayyy hotter.
Very cool stuff Thomas. They also show drastic improvements in hgh. If I remember correctly 2 1 hr session a day led to a 1600% increase and 2 30 min sessions a day was a 200% or 400%, or something like that. It was exponentially increasing over time.
@Pan Sonito he did another video about Apple cider vinegar improving electrolyte uptake. 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar. Half a tbsp cream of tartar for potassium. Half a teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt for sodium and other nutrients and lime juice for limonoids and small amount of sugar that helps boost salt uptake.

Is there anything that can help with allergies? Whenever I start a workout I develop hives and it hinders my progress. Thanks for the help .
Will I get some results if I sit in a steam room or does it need to be dry heat? I have both at my gym and I prefer the steam but if it doesn’t help me like a sauna would, I’ll try the sauna and gradually work up a tolerance for the dry heat.
Please use Fahrenheit as well. Great informative vids. Thanks
Great information, Thomas. Thank you. I am a firm believer to take post-workout protein shakes immediately after my workout. But I prefer to do a 30 minutes sauna immediately after my workout. The questions is, what would be the best timings to consume post workout protein shake?
Workout->Sauna->Protein
OR
Workout->Protein->Sauna?
Glaring Mind i would like to know the answer as well.
I do sauna then protein, works for me!
Timing in eating does not matter.
as someone that goes weekly to the sauna I can attest that it is efficient. Matter as fact I think I turned into a beast thanks to the sauna. my perfomanced peaked. Trainning sessions of 20 mins rose to 76 mins.
So does it help to lose weight or not
10:45. 20-30 mins. 2x a week...what if you do it once a day? Or, 2x a day? Or, every other day? Is 2x a week the maximum for safety? Or, is that just a fair amount of time and it's fine and safe to do it more often than that?
Is portable sauna good ? Is it good for cancer.
Thomas all the studies seem to utilize the higher temp saunas verses an infrared sauna. Can I still use an IR sauna and get the proclaimed benefits?
[" 6/18/19, Infrared out benefits any dry or steam saunas. Just research the benefits. During wintertime especially doing IF right before sleeptime for the night keeps us warm alllll night waking up fresh as a daisy or shall we say a sunflower🌻."]
Do you have to take some kind of binders when doing Sauna. I feel little dizzy and some brain fog after doing 15-20mins
Love the Sauna....this is great information.
Thank You
How does one have an increase in norepinephrine and a decrease in blood pressure?
I used to have pretty frequent occular auras in my vision, but when I started doing regular time in the sauna these episodes have greatly shrunk if not been eliminated. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'll keep doing it.
Does it help reverse prediabetes?
Forget weight just go to a hot sauna till you can't take the heat no more , go to a cold shower refresh and back to sauna and repeat. Sooooo gooood and relaaaaxing ^^ wish I could do it but I'm trash :/ used to have one in my home in good old days ;(
Would this also be the case for hot tubs and steam rooms?
Surprised this video didn’t talk about how doing sauna 4x a week or more will decrease all cause mortality by 40%!!
really?
Jason Cheung yea it was mentioned on joe rogans podcast
I'm doing almost everyday for 2 weeks now. I finally hit 30 mins today. I feel 20 years younger.
Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Julie Labelle glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for tuning in!!
If I am working out in the morning in a fasted state should I eat something and drink a protein shake before I go in? How should I time the food after training with the sauna to get maximum efficiency? Do I need to eat protein before the sauna to get that HSP muscle cell repair stabilization effect? Is it a bad idea to just go inside the sauna while in a fasted state?
Now on the days that I go to the Sauna two times per week! Do I go into the sauna for 30 minutes straight? Or would it be okay to go for 15 minutes and then go out for a 5 minute break and then finish my 30 minutes? Or do you think it would be better to do it all in one sitting?
